EFCC Arrests 37 Suspected ‘Yahoo Boys’ In Anambra

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has just arrested 37 suspected internet fraudsters, also known as 'Yahoo Boys', in Awka, Anambra State. This sting operation was carried out at Commissioners' Quarters, and it's reported that the suspects were all male. The EFCC recovered some pretty interesting items from them, including six luxury cars, laptops, and mobile phones, which are believed to be tools they used for their alleged fraudulent schemes. The suspects will face prosecution once the investigation is complete.

It's worth noting that this operation was a result of credible intelligence linking the suspects to fraudulent online activities. The EFCC has been working hard to combat cybercrime in Nigeria, and this arrest is a significant step in that direction.

Some people are already reacting to the news, with some praising the EFCC for their efforts in fighting crime, while others are criticizing the commission for not doing enough to address the root causes of internet fraud.
